Reuben Alexander
Clear, practical therapy for anxious and stuck people
About Reuben
Reuben Alexander uses an integrative approach that draws on several therapies to help people feeling stuck, anxious, or disconnected. He keeps sessions straightforward and focused on practical steps. Reuben makes space for people to name what matters and begin small changes that matter day to day.
Reuben has four years of experience working with concerns such as stress, anxiety, sleeping problems, depression and coping with life changes. He also helps people dealing with ADHD, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating concerns, anger and self-esteem.
Background and approach
Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, fatherhood issues, gender dysphoria and substance misuse among others. His method combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and attachment-based ideas alongside client-centred and emotionally-focused work when useful. That mix means sessions can shift between noticing thoughts and feelings, trying small behavioural changes, and looking at patterns in relationships.
Reuben keeps language simple and practical so people can use what they learn between sessions. Sessions are offered in English and he works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally. Reuben holds the NCPS credential and draws on everyday examples rather than jargon.
He aims to help clients recognise strengths and build manageable steps toward change. People who want to begin are guided through a short matching questionnaire and scheduling process. Reuben prefers collaboration - he listens first, then helps plan clear goals and ways to test what works.

Sessions & fees
Online approaches that focus on values, patterns and feelings
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting swept away by them, and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which often helps with anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people work on trust, closeness and repeated interaction habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. Reuben will listen to what you want to change and suggest an approach or combination of approaches that fits your goals. He aims to involve you in decisions so sessions feel collaborative and focused on clear next steps.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets you use visual cues and longer conversations, phone can suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can fit into a busy day or provide more frequent brief contact. These options make it easier to schedule around work, family or travel while keeping therapy practical and consistent.
